Davis Cup Ties Only Every Other Year

Mr. 1, A. Sabell), secretary of the Lawn Tennis Association, said re- cently that Great Britain would be in favour of a blennial Davis Cup competition when a proposal to that effect is brought before the Inter- national Federation meeting next

June

"This proposal came up last June,”

Mr. Sabell, said

"and on that occasion Great Britain supported the motion, which was, however, detral- ed. It in coming up again next June and no doubt Great Britain will take a simllur attitude towards this suggestion to play the Davis Cup tournament every other year instead of annually as at present."
